METIS has developed a way of visualizing SOV operations which correlates the full range of vessel activities to fuel efficiency and emissions in the context of a five-day forecast for weather conditions, adds Theodossopoulos.<\/p>\n
Features include a new depiction of total fuel oil consumption by activity across multiple scenarios, including transit, personnel transfer, time-in-port, etc., which takes account of different weather conditions. The enhanced software functionality also introduces a heightened level of transparency to dynamic positioning (DP) operations taking into consideration that DP systems play a critical role in maintaining positions and ensuring the safe transfer of technicians to offshore installations using ‘walk-to-work’ gangways.<\/p>\n
DP systems use a vessel\u2019s propellers and thrusters to maintain a position and heading, taking account of external conditions. The new METIS DP Motion Analysis App analyses the performance of the vessel\u2019s power system during DP to deliver a visualization of aggregated SOV performance based on fuel and energy efficiency, environmental conditions and motion dynamics.<\/p>\n
Also new is METIS functionality harvesting weather forecast and vessel performance data with the transparency to help site managers and vessel operators work together to schedule maintenance most effectively. The \u2018Smart Scheduler\u2019 refines existing METIS voyage routing optimization to take account of planning for wind farm operations, including safety requirements.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe new functionality supports better voyage planning and performance at sea during the key tasks which define SOV utilization,<\/em>\u201d said Kristian Ole Jakobsen, DCEO, ESVAGT.<\/strong> \u201cIn doing so AI-based analytics is helping vessel operators to contribute to a more efficient and sustainable offshore wind industry.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n METIS and ESVAGT collaborated to develop new fleet performance optimization functionality<\/p><\/div>\n About METIS Cyberspace Technology S.A.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n METIS Cyberspace Technology specializes in High Frequency Data Acquisition, and Advanced Performance Evaluation Analytics for the maritime Industry.
